Calisthenics, week 2

The result of random page turning/ quote finding after I revised the first draft:

Our words inherit nothing,
beget nothing.
And then he raises the washbowl
                                    and presses his teeth--biting
                                                             until the enamel crunches over
Our aching bones.
There are two vultures, motionless in the middle of the sky. I am asleep as
Acidic music of thistles and knives loosened itself from the shore and crossed
Over our mortal burden.
